Decorative ponds in the country house play the role of a place for the whole family to relax and visually ennoble the appearance of the site. The standard option is a man-made pond. A stream and a waterfall are complex structures. They require a lot of time, effort and additional costs for electricity and equipment. A fountain, like a stream, is a very complex structure. For him, you need to have a house of impressive size and strictly observe the geometric arrangement of paths and landings. It is quite difficult to harmoniously fit such structures into space. That is why, when planning reservoirs in the country, many of us prefer the pond.
A lake built on a site should enhance the attractiveness and appropriateness of architectural structures, as well as suit them in size and style. To enhance the romantic mood, natural forms, irregular and correct contours are used. It is necessary to fit the pond into the general view of the site in such a way that it createsthe impression that it is real and has always been exactly in the place where it is located now. In the case when stones are used to decorate a reservoir, their rock must be selected in accordance with the geological features of the area. In addition, they should be of different sizes and shapes.
When placing ponds in the country, you should think about lighting the place where they are located, and about their depth. Aquatic plants planted in the shade may not bloom. They also need lighting, like earthly flowers and shrubs. Direct sunlight should not fall on the water for more than six hours a day, so it is reasonable to place the future lake. When choosing its depth, one should not think that a reservoir with a small volume is worse.
Deep construction is expensive and not suitable for all plants. Exceeding the level of their placement, it will be necessary to use special stands. Fish living in the water will not be visible at all. But a pond with a small volume has one important drawback. If its depth does not reach eighty centimeters, it will be necessary to drain the water for the winter period, as it will freeze to the bottom, thereby damaging the artificial structure.
It is worth placing special equipment in the country to maintain water quality at the proper level. Experts calculate the filtration system, taking into account the characteristics of the reservoir, and allow you to create the most suitable conditions for its inhabitants. Otherwise, after a while the water will startget dirty. In order to clean country reservoirs, there are a lot of funds.
The most relevant is the use of biological filters. They prevent the growth of algae, as a result of which the reservoirs in the country will not be clouded. In addition, you can use special peat without chemical additives. It is designed to soften and clarify water, lowers acidity and does not allow algae to grow. A more complex solution to the problem of pollution is the use of an underwater vacuum cleaner, which is installed next to the pond. It cleans the bottom of various sediments and sediments.
Reservoirs in the country, the photos of which are located above, were created in compliance with the basic rules, and therefore look attractive, harmoniously combined with the appearance of the site.
